³ÉÈË¿ì²¥

TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Driller is sporting a new T-shirt and it’s all about a love for reading.

The painted shirt celebrates ten years of ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ in Tulsa.

The nonprofit started pairing up volunteers from the community with low-income students to help them develop reading skills in 2013.

³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ says only one in four Oklahoma fourth graders is reading at a proficient level and 36% lack even basic literacy skills.

As of 2022, 28 schools in the area use ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ to help more than 800 students.

Volunteers are only needed for as little as one hour a week.

Volunteers must complete a background check and a tutor orientation session.
